Air NZ new longhaul product
To coincide with the arrival later this year of new 777-300 aircraft, Air NZ will be introducing new longhaul seating. The new product is being unveiled on Tuesday (NZ time). Eventually the new seats will be available on the 777-300 and 787, and will also be refitted to the 777-200 aircraft.
Since Air NZ has some very long routes, including the flagship Auckland to London and Auckland to London route which takes between 24 and 27 hours, I'm expecting seating which has been designed with passenger comfort in mind. Given the hype Air NZ is building (eg NZ Herald and again with some tantalising hints), I'm expecting something amazing.

"I'm expecting seating which has been designed with passenger comfort in mind."
That'd be a first because currently, except for Business Premier seats, every other seat seems to have been designed to torture the passenger.
Other seats are not that bad. Air NZ economy compares very well against other airlines, for example Qantas has much less legroom.
Although, it is odd that space+ seats on short domestic flights is more comfortable than the longhaul economy seat.
